As the year draws to a close, the staff at the household registration office have completed the registration of household information for all residents in the city.

Staff at the household registration office also began producing simplified identity documents, requiring residents to carry them with them when going out.

At the same time, the household registration office also began to categorize the city's residents.

Personnel from vassal states such as Silla and Ezo were placed separately.

Those from the capital, the Northwest, and other places were also separated out.

Even the scions of powerful and wealthy families residing in Dongning City were given special attention.

These individuals will be the ones the Prince's Guard urgently needs to screen in the near future.

As all the work proceeded in full swing, the New Year quietly arrived.

For the people of Dongning City, this New Year was a rare one of peace and tranquility.

Not only were there no more attacks from grassland bandits, but more importantly, another joyous event occurred in Dongning City this New Year.

That was the grand wedding of Prince Xin!

When Prince Xin, Li Xin, was enfeoffed in Dongning City, the two were not yet married.

Ning Xiaoqian was only engaged to Li Xin.

After Ning Xiaoqian's father passed away, Ning Xiaoqian was left with no one to rely on and had no choice but to come to Dongning City with Prince Xin, Li Xin.

Throughout the journey, Li Xin witnessed Ning Xiaoqian's selfless dedication to him.

Having such a virtuous and gentle wife is truly a blessing earned over two lifetimes.

Therefore, Li Xin should also give Ning Xiaoqian a proper title.

The wedding day was set for the first day of the Lunar New Year.

New Year, new look.

The entire city of Dongning was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Inside the Prince Xin's residence, large red lanterns were hung everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.

Ning Xiaoqian's father passed away, leaving her with no relatives or friends.

Li Xin's father was far away in the capital, not to mention his relatives.

No relatives of the couple attended the wedding in the entire city of Dongning.

However, people from all over the city came to watch.

Even the prince's subordinates offered their congratulations.

Around noon, the wedding officially began, presided over by butler Liu Jingxuan.

Wearing a bright red dress and a red veil, Ning Xiaoqian, accompanied by her maid, walked out of the side room and into the courtyard of the Prince's mansion.

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted around them.

Some of the people at the entrance also stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look.

Inside the courtyard, Li Xin, dressed in a four-clawed python dragon costume, had a bright smile on his face as he looked at Ning Xiaoqian, who was walking gracefully towards him.

As the two approached, a red embroidered ball with a ribbon was handed over. Each of them held one end and stood side by side.

"Two families unite in marriage, and a contract is made in one hall."

A match made in heaven, a perfect union!

The wedding ceremony is now beginning!

Under Liu Jingxuan's loud voice, Li Xin and Ning Xiaoqian stepped forward.

"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Bowing to the parents twice!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

After paying their respects to Heaven and Earth, Li Xin, holding Ning Xiaoqian's hand, entered the bridal chamber surrounded by maids.

Inside the courtyard, everyone applauded, their faces beaming with bright smiles.

Butler Liu Jingxuan gestured with his hand and said with a smile, "His Highness has given the order..."

We're making dumplings today!

Everyone gets a share!

The white flour was naturally transported from the capital in the autumn.

There wasn't much to begin with, and it was saved until the Lunar New Year.

Upon hearing that everyone in the city would receive a share, the people cheered with joy and praised His Highness's benevolence.

Meanwhile, inside the bridal chamber.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ning Xiaoqian felt a little uneasy, her heart pounding like a deer.

"Your Highness, this servant takes her leave."

The maid bowed and then left the room.

Hearing the door close, Ning Xiaoqian couldn't help but clench the hem of her clothes tightly with her slender hands.

At this moment, Li Xin picked up the scale bar tied with a red rope on the table and lifted Ning Xiaoqian's veil.

Bathed in candlelight, Ning Xiaoqian's slightly shy face came into view.

"Qian'er..."

Li Xin put down the scale and sat down next to Ning Xiaoqian.

Ning Xiaoqian became even more nervous.

Especially when she could feel the rough breathing so close to her, Ning Xiaoqian's heart started beating even faster.

Li Xin reached out and grasped Ning Xiaoqian's soft hand, then pulled her into his arms with a slight force.

Her body fragrance is refreshing and delightful.

Leaning against Li Xin's broad chest, Ning Xiaoqian's cheeks flushed with a rosy blush that spread all the way to her neck.

"My husband..."

Ning Xiaoqian called out softly.

That crisp, melodious sound, with a hint of tingling, stirred Li Xin's emotions.

The soft body in his arms made his body feel hot.

My heart was itching to try it, and my hands couldn't resist getting started...

Feeling her clothes slip off, Ning Xiaoqian's expression suddenly changed.

Although she was a virgin, Ning Xiaoqian knew what the prince was about to do...

"Husband, it's still broad daylight..."

Ning Xiaoqian reminded her urgently.

However, Li Xin did not stop what he was doing.

Despite having many clothes, they couldn't withstand Li Xin's quick and easy groping.

Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in his arms, Li Xin leaned down directly.

"No, please..."

Ning Xiaoqian had just opened her mouth when her voice was blocked.

Feeling the breath so close to hers, Ning Xiaoqian's face turned bright red, almost as if it were about to bleed.

In a short while, all his clothes fell off.

A fair and exquisitely beautiful body came into view.

Ning Xiaoqian felt a chill run through her body, and she knew that she couldn't escape it today.
